Work will begin this week on concrete-pavement repairs on a seven-mile segment of the Gene Snyder Freeway between Stonestreet Road and Interstate-65.

The freeway will be reduced to one lane in each direction on both Wednesday and Thursday starting around 7 p.m. until around 5 a.m. the following morning. Crews will be saw cutting the pavement in preparation for replacement work over the weekend.

The project will require lane closures in both directions from 7 p.m. on Friday until 5 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 30. Uneven sections of concrete will be removed and replaced during this time period.

Sections of concrete pavement have settled over the years, resulting in an uneven driving surface, highway officials said. Lane closures will also be necessary the weekend of Oct. 4-7 to finish the repairs.

Gohmann Asphalt & Construction has a $356,000 contract for the project. Work is to be completed by Oct. 31.
